A Kingdom of Venom and Vows (Stars and Shadows, #3)

by Holly Renee

She was our hope, but we were her destruction.

But there wasn’t a force strong enough in this world or the next that could stop me from loving her.

They thought I was their savior, but I would be no such thing. I would be their destruction.

“The Blood kingdom is my home.” I turned to look at her once more with my fingers digging into the wood of the door. “And the Blood prince is my mate. If you are to fear anything, it should be me. You should fear what I am willing to do to get it all back.”

“Your brother didn’t take from me. I gave. And there’s nowhere on my body you can touch that hasn’t already been claimed by him.”

“I’m not telling you that to save myself.” I pressed my thighs together protectively as his gaze dropped down my body. “I’m telling you so you know who I belong to.”

“You are desperate to make me your villain, aren’t you?” “I think you’ve handled that perfectly on your own.”

“Worthy of you?” I let out a soft laugh and finally looked up to meet his eyes. “It is you who is not worthy of me.”

Let every ounce of it pour from you, and her magic will find her. The queen will save herself.”

“Get your hands off my mate.” Evren’s voice boomed through the garden, a demand to not be mistaken, as he stormed through the double doors with a blood-soaked sword in his hand.

When she looked at these scars, I didn’t want her to think of him. I wanted her to think of me and how my love for her was something I had waited a lifetime for. I would have waited a hundred lifetimes to get to her.

I will love her with everything I have until I’m taken from this world and even then. I would give up everything to do so.”
